   Time frame: baseline, weeks 4, 8 and 12 (end of treatment) and 3 month after treatment completion

"Estimated" and "actual" are the registry's own labels: an estimated date is a plan, and plans move. A date is printed at the precision it was registered at: this record registers a primary completion to the day, so a day is what is shown. Where a sponsor registers only a month, only a month is shown.

Results

This trial has not reported results. ClinicalTrials.gov holds no results record for it. That is the ordinary state of a trial that is running or about to run, and it means there is nothing here to tell you about whether the intervention works — including nothing negative. If this page implied otherwise it would be wrong.
